16.5 Exercise 11

Avg difficulty 2.5

Two sinusoidal waves are moving through a medium in the positive x-direction, both having amplitudes of 7.00 cm, a wave number of k=3.00m−1,k = 3.00 \text{m}^{−1} , an angular frequency of ω=2.50s−1,\omega = 2.50 \text{s}^{−1} , and a period of 6.00 s, but one has a phase shift of an angle ϕ=π12rad.\phi = \frac{\pi}{12} \text{rad} . What is the height of the resultant wave at a time t=2.00st = 2.00 \text{s} and a position x=0.53m?x = 0.53 \text{m}?
